Chapter 512: The Dark Clan Has Arrived

The figures of the two were closing in.

The closer they got, the more faint Lotus Mistzi’s smile became.

No…

Something’s off…

Why did he feel an overwhelming pressure facing someone at the Void Realm?

At this moment, it was as if the other party was bringing the weight of the heavens and the earth with them; the pressure only grew stronger as they approached.

At that moment, Lotus Mistzi even felt a sense of crisis within himself.

This isn’t right!

He couldn’t afford to be arrogant anymore. In an instant, he unleashed all his power, a lotus blooming and emitting a brilliant radiance.

A golden lotus seed rose from the flower.

No!

One won’t do!

Two, three, four…

A total of nine lotus seeds emerged, exuding a terrifying aura that even Bright Moonzi felt from a distance.

Bright Moonzi was shocked.

What’s going on?

Why is Lotus Mistzi unleashing such power?

He actually resorted to his trump card, the Lotus Breaks the Celestial Heart.

Has Lotus Mistzi encountered a formidable enemy?

Bright Moonzi accelerated, transforming into a streak of light.

Why can’t I sense the enemy’s aura?

“Lotus Breaks the Celestial Heart!”

Lotus Mistzi roared.

The lotus flew out, blowing away all the mist, and a large number of laws in the void shattered part of them; although they quickly healed, it was enough to prove the terror of Lotus Mistzi’s attack.

It actually shook the broken laws of the Celestial Lord.

Lu Ye’s momentum peaked at this moment.

Suddenly, he drew everything in.

Without uttering a word, he let out a silent roar within his heart.

“Celestial Lord Fist!”

A single punch!

“Boom!”

A horrifying fist imprint burst forth from Lu Ye’s right fist in an instant.

Following the fist imprint was a long beam of light, piercing through the heavens and the earth.

The terrifying light could melt everything.

The fist imprint crashed into the lotus seeds, each containing horrific power.

But beneath the fist imprint, they could only become a sky full of fireworks.

All nine lotus seeds were shattered, and the entire lotus transformed into a celestial glow.

Upon seeing this, Lotus Mistzi’s face changed dramatically.

No…

“Boom!”

His features became extraordinarily clear, illuminated by the blinding light.

The fist imprint appeared to expand in his eyes.

His current posture could only be described as face-checking the punch.

“Boom!”

Lotus Mistzi’s body surprisingly didn’t shatter instantly; instead, all his power was directed to resist that fist imprint.

But he couldn’t hold up!

His eyes were filled with both terror and despair.

I can’t withstand this, I truly can’t.

If only I had known, if only I had known, I wouldn’t have chased after this!

“Aaaahhh…”

In the end, he couldn’t withstand the horrific damage; his body exploded, and even his Nascent Soul turned to ashes in the light.

Lu Ye zipped past, snagging the storage ring into his hand.

Thankfully, it was roughly what he had calculated.

Lu Ye sensed his Primordial Force; still intact!

He turned around.

If it’s kill, then two would do for slaughter.

Clean kills save trouble.

So Lu Ye immediately turned back.

Bright Moonzi, who was rushing over, suddenly stopped, disbelief in his eyes.

The aura of Lotus Mistzi… has vanished…

Just now, the shocking collision emitted waves, and Bright Moonzi wasn’t some fool.

Lotus Mistzi was killed.

In an instant, alarm bells rang in his heart.

Lotus Mistzi was roughly on par with him; if he was taken down in one blow, what if he went back looking for trouble?

Of course, there was another possibility: after killing Lotus Mistzi, the other side might also be at their limit, giving him a chance to scavenge.

Flee!

Or should I fight?

Without hesitation, Bright Moonzi made his choice: flee!

Opportunities are tricky; you might gain tremendously but could also end up dead.

If you gain tremendously, there’s nothing more to say; if you die, you lose everything.

Besides, lifespans are so long—if I miss this opportunity, I can always find a new one next time.

What’s there to fight over?

Only surviving is everything. That Reincarnation Celestial Lord never fights, and now he’s an eternal existence between the heavens and the earth.

So, retreat!

Report back to the sect and let them handle it!

After figuring it all out, Bright Moonzi didn’t hesitate and instantaneously fled.

When he sensed Lu Ye’s aura, he promptly activated his escape skills.

A burst of light shot him forward at breakneck speed.

Lu Ye…

Runs so fast!

This is how it is in the cultivation world—no matter who you are, everyone has a set of escape skills.

I might not catch you, but once I’m running, don’t even think about catching me.

“I can lock onto his position. Should we hunt him down?” Dark Yaner asked.

“Forget it, too hard to chase, let’s continue with our own business. I’ve noted his aura,” Lu Ye replied, stopping his steps.

Dark Yaner obediently nodded.

“Keep an eye on the surroundings for me; alert me if any strong ones come by.”

“Okay!”

Lu Ye really liked this radar-type ability of Darkness Origin.

In the thick, white fog, it was effective at scanning for enemies.

Lu Ye checked his spoils and began to harvest zombies again.

This time, thankfully, he was undisturbed.

He started to slaughter recklessly.

The Stone Sword was ecstatic.

This time around, the killing not only enhanced its slaughter intent but also required no bloodshed.

What a great place!

This truly was a splendid location!

Lu Ye held the map, prioritizing areas without Great Dao Realm zombies for clearing out.

He no longer cared whether there were treasures or not—the treasures weren’t the focus; as long as there were zombies, it was good!

Nearby zombies were soon wiped out.

Not a single piece was overlooked.

Lu Ye changed position and continued his actions.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Dark Yaner let out a sound of surprise.

“What’s wrong?”

“I detected traces of the Dark Clan.”

Lu Ye’s flying body hesitated slightly.

The Dark Clan…

An Li’s family, the ones who voluntarily turned themselves into bugs?

In his previous life, Lu Ye hadn’t communicated much with them. After bringing An Li away, the Dark Clan hadn’t exactly dropped the matter; then Lu Ye became the Great Emperor.

The Dark Clan could only throw a fit in anger.

From the tidings of Darkness Origin, the Dark Clan had expended considerable effort in their last life to undermine him.

Lu Ye began pondering.

All clues converged in Lu Ye’s mind.

Firstly, why did the Dark Clan resort to such brutal methods to create a Saintess?

An Li once mentioned it was for a sacrifice.

The Dark Clan itself was quite formidable, boasting an Emperor. Does such a power even need sacrifices? What level are the sacrificial targets?

A Celestial Lord?

That can’t be right!

Celestial Lords aren’t that distant from Emperors; it wouldn’t warrant an Emperor making sacrifices.

Each Emperor has a dream.

When faced with an insurmountable issue, it’s simple—I shall become a Saint.

So the target prompting Emperor-level sacrifices might be a Saint!

Since An Li was taken by me, only to end up back with her family; it seems the Dark Clan is still doing everything to aid An Li.

But why?
